In Very Good condition, no dust jacket. Pictorial boards are vivid, with light bumping at corners and edges and mild surface wear. Light spotting and soiling along the bottom edge of the text block. Binding tight. Otherwise unmarked.A "sneak peek" preview volume issued by Niles and Morse to demonstrate the planned hardcover series CRIME AND TERROR, advertised on the rear pages as forthcoming "BIG OL' 80-PAGE HARDCOVER VOLUMES." Contains two complete short comics: a 1930s gangster-and-gun-moll noir titled "The Bee's Knees," and a zombie-apocalypse horror tale, together representing one entry from each side of the proposed CRIME and TERROR pairing. Unfortunately the full hardcover series was never published and no further volumes have been issued. This 500-copy preview thus stands as the only printed appearance of the Niles/Morse Crime and Terror collaboration.Steve Niles is best known as the writer of 30 Days of Night and the Criminal Macabre series. Scott Morse is a Pixar story artist and the creator of Soulwind, Magic Pickle, and The Ancient Book of Sex and Science. The two had previously collaborated on the IDW Little Book of Horror: Frankenstein (2005) and would later release the one-shot Monster and Madman: The Secret History of Jack the Ripper and Frankenstein's Monster (IDW, 2014).
